New Ranking after toppling #1

[top5vols]

Meaningless in basketball.

It matters at the end for seeding.

 

[dmwhite1]

3 for sure

 

[Chris4Vols22]

I think one can make an argument for 3, but hard to see that actually happening. I would personally still have the Zags above us. They are a great team, and that makes this win that much sweeter to me.

don't need a reason for others to come after a UT high ranking....let em lay low for now

 

[tbones0711]

We already have a target on our back,IMO.

 

[wmcovol]

Probably 4 or 5. Kansas, Duke and Gonzaga May be ranked above Tennessee.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

#4 is fine. There are still several undefeated teams left.

 

[Manning Up]

We already have a target on our back,IMO.

After a win against the #1 team in the country, everyone will target us in the SEC.

 

[Vols All Day]

The media loves Michigan right now, so I think the best we can see is likely 4.

 

[1985volunteer]

We already have a target on our back,IMO.

Seems like this bunch would likely wear that target as a badge of honor.

 

[jtipto10]

ESPN power rankings have already moved us from 8 to...7. Lol what bs

Gonzaga moved from 2 to 4. Kentucky fell out (they only rank 16 teams)

 

[Eastknox865]

We actually may not move up at all no one lost in front of us

 

[omghulkhands]

We 100% will pass Nevada. Hard to say how things shake up after that.

 

[i2amavol]

Based on schedule and wins, I think we should be #3 at least. However, I would guess #4. If we are lower than that, then it is simply bogus.

 

[82_VOL_83]

Your idea of a Woodshed beating and mine are to different types of ass whippings.

Millennial, that was more like a timeout in the corner.

 

[Sudden Impact]

Realistically should be #3 or 4 more than likely 5 or 6

Gonzaga, Duke, Kansas Michigan and even Nevada maybe a head of us...Virginia may slip into there....

 

[Kristy*]

Should be ahead of Duke. Two one-loss teams. We beat the team that beat them.

I would do:

1. Kansas
2. Michigan
3. Tennessee
4. Gonzaga
5. Duke
6. Virginia

 

[Dr H Lecter]

They’ll never put us ahead of Duke. They played the Ivy League murders row this week and had to do it at home. Now that’s difficult.

 

[NorCalVol67]

Well, except for Gonzaga.

 

[Zues1]

Should be the highest ranked one loss team

 

[walkenvol]

I think one can make an argument for 3, but hard to see that actually happening. I would personally still have the Zags above us. They are a great team, and that makes this win that much sweeter to me.

2 teams with one loss each, but team A beat team B. Team A lost to another top 3 team and team B beat another top 3 team. Team A HAS to be ranked just above team B.

 

[RavinDave]

Zags ranked over VOLS will leave me quite triggered.

No joke!

 

[tnburban]

I figure that should get us the 4th or 5th spot.

It doesn’t matter right now. I can not believe how many people here are obsessed about a ranking in December. Win and it takes care of itself. Lose, and it takes care of itself. I just don’t get the obsession with rankings.

 

[CragrockVol]

That like a target painted on our back.

How about a #1 seed?

If your ranked number 7 and you beat the number 1 team I’m not sure how you wouldn’t move at least a spot or two no matter what the others ranked above you did. Did any of the other top 6 beat the number 1 team in the country?
